Another flight , another woman goes into labor .

Delta Air Lines Flight 2566 from San Francisco to Minneapolis diverted to Salt Lake City on Wednesday when a pregnant passenger went into labor during the flight .

A pediatrician on board helped the passenger until the flight landed at about 9:45 a.m. , according to CNN affiliate KUTV . The passenger was taken by the local fire department to the University of Utah Hospital , where she gave birth to a baby boy .

Both the mother and baby are in good condition , the hospital said .

`` I was getting contractions about every minute almost immediately , which was really scary ... '' mother Allison Peery told CNN affiliate KTVX on Thursday .

The pediatrician was a big help , she said , as were the flight attendants .

`` They were great , like helping me breathe . Because we had n't done our classes yet , so we were really kind of out of our element , '' Peery said of her and her husband , Zach . `` There were about four -LRB- other people -RRB- there all breathing with me . ''

The 4-pound , 6-ounce child , named Karl William Peery , is fine .

`` He 's doing so well and he 's so cute , '' said Allison Peery , whose family lives in Wisconsin .

It 's not the first time this month that a pregnant passenger has diverted a flight .

On December 9 , a baby was born on Southwest Airlines Flight 623 shortly after its 6:24 a.m. takeoff . The aircraft departed from San Francisco bound for Phoenix , but diverted to Los Angeles International Airport at about 7:30 a.m. . A nurse and doctor on board assisted with the delivery .

`` It was amazing , '' a flight attendant said in a video posted on the airline 's website . `` All the passengers were awesome . Everybody was clapping . ''

The plane was met by a Los Angeles Fire Department emergency response team upon landing , according to LAX spokeswoman Katherine Alvarado . After a two-and-a-half hour delay , the 111 other passengers aboard Flight 623 were able to continue their journey to Phoenix aboard a new aircraft .

Airline restrictions for pregnant passengers vary .

Delta does n't restrict the travel of pregnant passengers , but the airline does offer guidance about change fees on its website . `` Ticket change fees and penalties can not be waived for pregnancy . '' For any passenger traveling after her eighth month , `` it 's a good idea to check with your doctor to be sure travel is not restricted . ''

Southwest advises that pregnant women consult with their doctors before traveling by air , and the airline recommends not traveling after the 38th week of pregnancy .

Barring medical complications , the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that pregnant women can fly safely just like the general population . However , `` air travel is not recommended at any time during pregnancy for women who have medical or obstetric conditions that may be exacerbated by flight or that could require emergency care .
